Wanted: SPECIFIC tube sockets, shields, grid caps, switches, meter case

Some specific parts I need for various restorations, not uncommon parts, but also proving not to be the sorts of things that end up on ebay.  If you've stripped some '30's military gear, you might have this stuff lying around.  Anyone have anything, get in touch.  Thanks. 

Six pin sockets.  Also need the insulating wafers that go between the sockets and the panel they would mount to.  Note the contact construction of the socket on the left, that type preferred, will take either.  Mounting centers 1-3/8". Mounting between pins 2-3 and 5-6. 





Two shield types, and grid cap type.  Also need the shield mounts that bolt to the chassis.  Need some of both shield types/mounts.  Looking for this particular style of grid cap, sized for 6 pin tubes, as opposed to octal which is smaller. 

Shield 1-5/8" x 4-1/8" with top cap 1-3/16" x 7/8".



Shield 2" x 4.5".



Two switch types. First momentary like this; 1/2" round 3" long DPST MBB:







….and another… need eight SPST MBB, one DPST BBM:






last but not least, a meter case.  Primarily need the metal cover piece, so trashed bakelite with metal remaining would work. 

I got a parts drawer from the son of an old timer and thought of you as there are allot of saved parts
checked caps maybe hardware , your's for postage email me and I'll send an example pic
I still have to go through it all

Thanks, will do!

Hey Doug, Have you tried Richard at Leeds Radio?  www.leedsradio.com

None of this stuff shows up on his site.  Haven't tried sending him pics.

He has waaaaaaay more stuff than he will ever get listed on his site.  Email is recommended.

Got it, thanks!

You could reach out to some guys on youtube.... I see a bunch of stuff like on that guy Dennis Carter's channel......

Maybe not military stuff but they  might at least have some direction for you.......

Awesome thanks!

Might have some tube socket and shilds  from an old telefunken  30's mono amp I failed to bring back to life. Let me check later tonight. Might even have a switch or two.

Otherwise The Swedish radio museum in Gothenburg has ridiculous amount of old  military parts. Have a contact there who helped me track down some parts in the past. Send me an email at pierre (a) zebrastudios.se with a list of that you are looking  for and I can give em a call on your behalf.

(EDIT: Could  not find any part at home but if you send me the list I could check with the museum)

I'll keep an eye out. I end up with so many obscure old parts but they aren't inventoried so it's just a matter of watching for them the next time I need to rummage through the endless boxes of tubes and parts.

I found sockets, but would still consider more, and the rest is always still needed.......
